Summary
Harrison is a combo guard that is best suited to defend point guards, primarily because that allows him to utilize his length to be disruptive on that end, as he is undersized compared to shooting guards. Harrison is a great athlete that just hasn't rounded out his game well enough to earn consistent minutes.

On offense, Harrison has struggled in his few NBA minutes to score at an efficient rate. Harrison has not shown to be an efficient scorer during his four seasons in the NBA. He's only a career 31% three-point shooter. Harrison is not known as a passer or playmaker, so in order to stick around in the league, he needs to be a more effective scoring threat.

Harrison only got a one-year non-guaranteed minimum contract with Utah last offseason, and was waived before it become fully-guaranteed as he never played significant minutes for the Jazz. We later signed with Denver and played a little, but not enough to think his market will be any better than last offseason.
 
Cap Considerations
Harrison will be an unrestricted free agent with a $1.7 million cap hold and Non-Bird Rights. This means that the highest starting salary the Nuggets could offer him using the Non-Bird Exception is $2.1 million. This should be enough to retain Harrison. Alternatively, the Nuggets could use their Mid-Level Exception or Bi-Annual Exception to re-sign Harrison if he demands more than $2.1 million.

Other teams will have multiple ways to sign Harrison as even teams without cap space could possibly use any of the Non-Taxpayer MLE, Taxpayer MLE, or possibly even the Room MLE or Bi-Annual Exception to sign him. It's also likely that he could be had on a minimum contract.

Potential Teams: Thunder, Nuggets, Kings, Heat, Rockets

Predicted Contract: 1-year, $1.8 million (non-guaranteed) with the Thunder

Actual Contract: 1-year, $1.8 million (non-guaranteed) with the 76ers

Harrison only got a training camp deal with Philadelphia, and is unlikely to make the final roster.
